Chapter 118 The tangled three generations

The crisp tapping sound of the cane sounded in the corridor, and Danzo strolled leisurely in the Hokage Building.

Seeing the two ANBU in front of the Hokage's office as nothing, he reached out and pushed open the office door.

Notification? Hey, I, Shimura Danzo, never need to report when I enter or leave the Hokage's office!

Pushing the door open, there was only Sandai in the house, looking down at something.

Sandai didn't even raise his head and said, "You're here, Danzo."

"Yes." Danzo walked up to the third generation calmly and asked, "What do you want from me, Hiruzen?"

The third generation slowly raised his head, leaned back on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and handed out the information with the other hand.

Danzo received the information, and it turned out that Nagato had the Rinnegan.

Even though he had already seen it, Danzo carefully looked at it again.

Sandai smoked his pipe pot, looked up at the sky, and said, "Duanzo, did you know? This Nagato is actually a disciple of Jiraiya."

"What?!" Danzo frowned and his voice rose unconsciously: "The three children he adopted in the Land of Rain?"

"That Nagato is really Jiraiya's disciple?"

Sandai said nothing, slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

"Damn it!" Danzo threw the information on the desk angrily.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know until now!"

Danzo realized that he still underestimated Jiraiya's stupidity.

What a great opportunity! ! !

"I just found out that Nagato has the Reincarnation Eye." Sandai let out a long sigh.

"Damn Jiraiya!" Danzo roared, slamming his cane onto the ground.

"He concealed Nagato's reincarnation eye, what good would it do to him!"

Yeah, what's the benefit?

Probably, it gave Nagato a safe environment to grow up.

Jiraiya left Konoha for three years and stayed in the Land of Rain to teach his disciples. Such a thing could not be hidden from the top management of Konoha.

Simply, Jiraiya never mentioned that Nagato had the Samsara Eye, thus protecting Nagato on the other hand.

Otherwise, once Konoha knows that Nagato has the Rinnegan, both the Third Generation and Danzo will bring Nagato back to Konoha at all costs.

The third generation is okay, and may use Nagato's relationship with Jiraiya to cultivate his bond with Konoha.

If it falls into Danzo's hands, then Nagato must be completely in his hands.

Hiding Nagato's reincarnation eye helped Nagato escape from the whirlpool of right and wrong.

However, now, after all, it can no longer be concealed.

Jiraiya searched for the prophesied son all over the world, and Sandai knew it. However, the three generations never associated the three little ones from the Kingdom of Rain with the Son of Prophecy.

Doesn't the Namikaze Minato produced in his own village look more like the prophecy child?

But now that Nagato has the Samsara Eye, the possibility that he is the son of prophecy has been infinitely increased.

It's a pity that by the time Konoha knew the news, it was already too late.

Nagato and his companions have grown up, have mature thoughts, and have their own power. It is difficult to bring them back to Konoha for training.

The question now is, what to do?

Sandai and Danzo looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long while, the third generation said quietly: "Stop planning and let Jiraiya go..."

Danzo sneered disdainfully: "Humph, what's the use of letting Jiraiya go? In an attempt to eliminate war and achieve peace in the ninja world through communication, what the Akatsuki organization did is what Jiraiya has always wanted to do."

"But..." Sandai still wants to try his best. After all, it is the Samsara Eye!

"It's useless." Danzo said coldly: "According to the information investigated by the Root Ninja, Nagato's parents were killed by two Konoha ninjas."

When Sandai heard this, he knew everything was right.

The intelligence submitted by Raitora did describe Nagato's strong anger after learning that Konoha ninja's genjutsu tortured Abe Hiroshi.

"Alas...is there no other way?" Sandai rubbed his brows in pain.

This is the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if he knew that the leader of the Akatsuki organization was a disciple of Jiraiya, once the Akatsuki organization might threaten Konoha, he would still hide it from Jiraiya, release Danzo, and make up his mind to eradicate it.

This is his tolerant side.

But when he learned that Nagato had the Reincarnation Eye and was most likely the child of prophecy, whether he was a pity or believed in the existence of the child of prophecy, he became hesitant and unable to make a decision.

This is his indecisive side.

"According to the intelligence, the power of the Samsara Eye cannot be underestimated. And without further fighting, we don't know how many secrets the Samsara Eye has."

Sandai said worriedly.

With one blow, Kakuzu, who had used the Burning Escape Steam Kill, was deflected away, and with one glance, the special jounin's eyeball was blown open.

What’s even more frightening is that these are just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Samsara Eye.

Danzo knew that now was the time for him to help the third generation make up his mind.

"It doesn't matter!" Danzo said solemnly: "If you are worried about his strength, then you should kill him with a thunderous hand! Besides, we still have the 'ally' of Yugakure."

"Alas..." Sandai closed his eyes in pain and sighed heavily.

Danzo looked at the third generation silently. Knowing Sandai, he knew that his old friend was making a difficult decision at this time.

After a while, Sandai sat up straight, opened his eyes, and there was only determination in his eyes.

"Do it, Danzo." Sandai said softly.

"I understand." Danzo nodded slightly and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Both Nebe and Amegakure need time to mobilize their elite strength."

"Furthermore, Sansho Hanzo seems to be dreaming of taking over the Akatsuki organization for his own use."

Upon hearing this, Sandai immediately sat up straight.

If the Akatsuki organization really joins forces with Sansho Hanzo, the threat to Konoha will be great!

Danzo said disdainfully: "Hanzo's arrogance has become increasingly unbearable. This time we have only reached a preliminary intention. He also wants to keep some leeway."

"But it doesn't matter. Based on the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization, it is impossible to unite with Yugakure. When the Akatsuki organization grows stronger, Sanshouyu Hanzo will take the initiative to come to us for cooperation."

Danzo was talking eloquently, and when he said this, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

The third generation nodded slightly.

"Okay, if you need help, ANBU can also provide some support."

"No need!" Danzo flatly refused. How could he agree to Anbu's involvement when he was ready to steal the Rinnegan Eye for himself.

"The Samsara Eye is powerful, and the mission will be accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. Only the most powerful ninja can shoulder such a mission."

Danzo stood proudly and spoke decisively.

The third generation frowned slightly, obviously understanding the implication of Danzo's words, but he didn't say much.

"That's right." Danzo, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly said again, as if he just remembered.

"Orochimaru said that his research on Hashirama cells has entered a new stage. He told me that it would be best for him to concentrate on his research during this period."

"Furthermore, I also want Orochimaru to lead the team during the encirclement and suppression of the Akatsuki organization."

The third generation frowned.

Let Orochimaru lead the team to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Akatsuki organization. The third generation can accept it. After all, the Akatsuki organization has the Rinnegan and the partner is a demigod. Konoha must have a master who can calm the situation.

Of course the third generation of Hashirama's cell research also knew about it. To be precise, it was a project proposed by Orochimaru, and the third generation and Danzo were joint funders.

It just requires a large number of ninjas to conduct human experiments, so in order to facilitate "material collection", the location is placed in an underground laboratory near the root.

Anyway, the human experimenters used were all enemy ninjas, so they were treated as waste. The third generation did not object to such cruel human experiments.

In the original work, after the war, Orochimaru ran out of materials for human experiments and began to rob Konoha civilians and ninjas for experiments, which aroused the anger of the third generation.

Don't you see, the Second Hokage is the leader in human experiments.

The third generation of Orochimaru's research talent is very clear. A lot of investment, as long as the power of wood escape can be reproduced, then the investment will be worthwhile.

The third generation frowned. If Orochimaru concentrated on studying, what would happen to the battlefield of Kusanagi in the direction of Iwagakure?

Sooner or later, Jiraiya will return to Kawakuni to keep an eye on Sunagakure. Tsunade has been suffering from anemia and has been traveling for a long time, so she is not suitable for the battlefield.
